Love the weeknights – I love this joint!!! The bar is geniuis due to the fact that you can scan the room without moving your head. I like It's timeless decor. Seems more NY than LA . Cool vibe ! unpretentious and intimate.

A gem, easy clean fun! – The music is good, the place is small so it is alway crowded, the people are nice, the service is good, the prices are far, the door policy is not like a Hollywood bar. Great spot

Circle Overated – The CIRCLE BAR is a circle and seems you have to actually go around the whole circle to actually get a drink. To be fair, on the weekends, it is crowded and completely packed (so perhaps this place is considered to be popular) but most of the time, because it is so crowded you can barely even move. The bartenders do their best to service but I think with just so many people hanging around "the circle", it takes a while for them to get to you. The drinks are decent but the place is dark, and the music is too... read more

Fun Times – Great doorguys and hot bartenders who don't put up with LA nonsense. Strong drinks, wild music, and you'll never figure out what might happen next. Sure it's crowded, but if you don't want people then stay at home on your couch!

Excellent drinks! – The place is tiny, crowded but the drinks are worth putting up with all of it. I ordered a french martini and they made me a perfect one! But it's not really a pick-up place unless you come with a group of friends. If you are 2 people (girls or guys) you'll leave with a good taste in your mouth but nothing else. However, yes, the place is filled with singles.

Relaxed westside bar – This bar really is designed in the shape of a circle, and it is fun to make your way around. On Wednesday nights the DJ is awesome, and the patio out back is nice on a warm night. A good spot to go when you want somewhere fun but not pretenious.

this place changed: too loud, too much hard rock – this place used to be great. now, around 11:30-12:00, they stop playing r&b, and start playing loud hard rock. people stop dancing immediately. why cant they recognize that? at around 12, it fills up with tons of guys who by then start to feel their booze, and start to elbow in to everyone. the music level was deafening! it was so loud, we couldnt hear each other even though we were yelling in each others ears...note to staff: stop playing hard rock and turn the volume down ... read more

Say No: to Circle Bar on Thursdays – First off, every club/bar has its different days and with that, its different crowds. So this review will be fair and will only be on CIRLCLE BAR: Thursday night. That said, it was horrible. I was bar hopping with my friends on Main St. for her b-day and we stumbled into here. We instantly recognized the DJ--the same douche or douches who play the same playlist at weekends at The Room. At first, hismusic was cute and a challenge to dance to. But now, after 1.5yrs, its getting old and not ... read more
